waterbug Posted February 21, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 21, 2009 How is that I keep getting told I am going slower than the speedo says? I am still getting a radar detector for it just to be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted February 21, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted February 21, 2009 How is that I keep getting told I am going slower than the speedo says? I am still getting a radar detector for it just to be safe. What PO's me is that I KNOW the radar cops hang out at this spot but I was so enjoying the ride, the tunes, and the sound of my RK's that I wasn't paying attention ...until it was too late. They got me doing 140 in a 100 zone (kilometers that is) and I was starting to slow down LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidlifeVenture Posted February 21, 2009 Share #11 Posted February 21, 2009 Just a warning I have a friend who is an officer and they have been told to up the # of tickets they write to help cover the cites lack of income so he's even writing for under 10 over even if there are no points it brings a couple of dollars in and he says it may help keep a friends job.

Good thing you weren't in Ontario Rick, just 10 more klicks and your bike would have been impounded for 7 days and you would have been charged with street racing, which carries a hefty fine.

petekadish Posted February 22, 2009 Share #15 Posted February 22, 2009 Go with the "Insanity" plea, and then offer the to give the judge a ride on the next beautiful day. Perhaps after the ride ... he'll understand. Pete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3FOL Posted February 22, 2009 Share #16 Posted February 22, 2009 Sorry to hear about your speeding ticket. I take it easy these days...cops are very thirsty to give speeding tickets especially in this worldwide economy situation. If you use the Insanity defense...they might take away your bike. Ride safe and we all learn from our mistakes. Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Posted February 22, 2009 Share #17 Posted February 22, 2009 In your case, I would definatley try the insanity defense...lol:rotf: Awrite... who's been tellin ya all about me????

Dano Posted February 22, 2009 Share #18 Posted February 22, 2009 hmmmmmm do these 2nd gens actually do 140 Miles per hour?? ... I'll have to check that out! Just jump on the 1st gen and see what it's like, first! Then, when you manage to get close to it on a 2nd gen, you won't be as disappointed in not reaching it!
